9. In the next room, Joseph, Martha’s husband was listening to whole conversation between the two women, in annoyance. He felt pity on Katherine and considered that Martha should have been sensible on that occasion. Katherine deserved sympathy in her difficult times, he thought.

10. He went straight to the kitchen where Martha was cooking. “You could have at least assured her by saying that as soon as the virus vanished, she could resume her duties", he said it in a bit harsh tone.

11. Martha stared at Joseph in disbelief. “Well don’t tell me this, it is understood that she is going to resume her duties after the virus is gone.”

12. “I am afraid, Katherine left from here with the impression that she was fired”, Joseph viewed.

13. Martha’s pensive look encouraged Joseph to say further. “Don’t we see around us, people succumb to their agonies of life and commit suicide. Sometimes they kill their dear ones before committing suicide to prevent them from all the agonies they would have to face in their lives after the act of suicide.

14. Martha’s face turned as white as a sheet. “Oh God, what I have done! How didn’t I realize this aspect, she lamented. She at once switched off the stove and asked Joseph to drive her to Katherine’s house.

15. On their way Martha stopped by a super store for some foodstuffs for Katherine and her kids. She was filled with emotions of thankfulness for Joseph who had made her realize the consequences of her wrong decision. She rested her head towards Joseph’s shoulder and closed her eyes visualizing Katherine and her kids. Joseph kissed Martha’s head and sped in excitement towards Katherine’s house.

THE END.

I wrote this story to find out my mistakes in;

The usage of tenses.

The usage of vocabulary

Orderliness

Please guide me.

1. Katherine, the housekeeper, was shocked when Martha forbade her to come to work in her house anymore.

2. “Ma'am, if you fired me how would I feed my four kids. Being a widow and only breadwinner, I am totally dependent on what I earn from this house and from the house of your next door neighbor, Josephine. She also has hinted me a couple of times not to come because of this Corona-virus.” Katherine said this last sentence in the hope of seeking considerations from Martha.

3. “That’s what I want you to realize. No one is ready to take risk against this Corona-virus.” Martha was more assertive this time. Katherine cursed herself why she disclosed Josephine’s intention to Martha. It certainly had supported Martha’s stance.

4. “Ma'am I cover my face with a mask all the time and the first thing I do is rinse my hands with a sanitizer as soon as I come here”; she tried to convince Martha. Martha ignored her. "Distancing from one another is the only way to protect ourselves from the virus", said Martha.

5. “You see I do not have cold, cough, fever or any other symptoms of this disease”; she again tried to bring Martha around. “I am sorry Katherine, in these circumstances, I cannot let you come here and that’s final. I advise you to stay at home and wait unless the Corona-virus is gone.”

6. “What about Suzy, she pointed to Martha’s seven-year old daughter. She is quite attached to me and needs my presence in the absence of you and your husband.” This time Katherine was sure to get a favorable response from Martha.

7. “You need not worry about her since Joseph and I remain in the house these days due to the lock-down, so we can manage Suzy’s responsibilities as well as of the household.” Martha remained firm in her decision.

8. After losing in arguments with Martha, Katherine left Martha’s house with teary-eyes.

Are there any mistakes?

I found 17$ in my old jeans. I was very happy and I decided to buy fast food in a restaurant. When I got home my girlfriend was very angry with me because I had spent all money on me and I hadn’t bought her anything. But it was an expensive restaurant and I hadn’t enough money to buy food for two people and it was my money! We had a big fight. My girlfriend threw at me a remote control from my game console. She missed but the remote control was broken. And now I need more that 17$ to fix it.

Hello!

Could you please help me with correcting this text? Thank you!

The following work is dedicated to a loanwords from the Nahuatl language in the Mexican variety of the Spanish language. The first chapter concers the history, the classification and the features of the Nahuatl language. The second part deals with the definition, the types and the processes of loanwords integration, including the attitudes towards them. The last chapter consists of the characteristics of the Mexican variety, a table with fifteen words of Nahuatl origin that appears in different sayings and cultural examples in which these expressions appear.

It's a "professional" resume so maybe there are some works which I need to change.

Writing this article is meant to test my ability to use English to explain a scientific topic comprehensively, such that you understand the idea. The text should meet all your teacherly standards; please tell me if it doesn't. ;-) In this article, I will explain why I think the star Sun is "the biggest of the smallest", and also why iron is the perfect element.Our star is a G2 class star. This means that it's somewhere in the middle of stellar classification, that classifies stars by color and temperature, closer to the low end. (↑OBAF[G]KM↓) If the Sun were more massive, it could sustain the CNO cycle, and become an F class star. The CNO cycle is revolutionary in stellar evolution because it allows stars a quick and spectacular life the Sun will never have; it will live a long and peaceful life among many other stars too small to sustain it. The Sun isn't small when compared to other stars, though, as it is in the top 10% of stars in terms of mass; it's just that it takes a lot of mass to sustain the cycle.

The CNO cycle allows nuclear fusion to produce elements heavier than hydrogen and helium, which is all other elements. Stars like our sun use the gravity from their mass to squash hydrogen inside. This process splices hydrogen, and makes it fuse into helium, but helium is where it stops for such small stars. Only bigger, more massive stars can go further, from helium to carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen, hence the name, the CNO cycle. Once the cycle is sustainable, there's no return; the star is on its way to a positive feedback loop that will eventually overload its fusing capacity, use up all its fuel, and end it in a supernova.

Not all configurations of matter are equally stable. Helium has four nucleons closely packed together inside its core, a more stable configuration than if the four nucleons were separate. Higher stability of an atom means that less energy is required to hold its core together, and that energy can be released if we transform an atom into another, more stable. That's how the Sun extracts energy from hydrogen in nuclear fusion. However, adding more nucleons would produce lithium, beryllium, and boron, all of which are less stable than helium, and the product would only quickly fall apart back into the subtracts. This is where fusion cannot progress any further, unless the star has a strong enough gravitational pull to squash twelve nucleons together in short time, producing carbon.

Carbon is the first on the list of elements more stable than helium; Nitrogen and Oxygen are next. The CNO cycle is more efficient than fusing hydrogen into helium, and once sustainable, becomes the predominant source of nuclear energy for the star. The CNO cycle is the first step towards fusing iron, the most stable element in terms of binding energy of a nucleon configuration. From carbon (12) to iron (56), each next element is more stable than the previous one, meaning that fusing these elements will allow for releasing energy. Past iron, each next element is less stable, and fissioning them, rather than fusing, is the way to release energy. This is what makes heavy, unstable elements like uranium good fissile but terrible fusile materials. Once fusion reaches iron, it's reached its limit, and the star is on its way to death, the fate our star will not share, luckily.

After four long months, I went to the place that is tied to my memory to find the inspiration for living anew. However, with a lot of frustration, I had to return home finally. Life has stopped today in the shadow of sadness!

As I am creating the trailer for my novel, but I am not sure the grammar problem.

Is there anyone who can help me to check the grammar errors? Thank you very much!

Since a month ago, her dream is connected with a vampire

On her first day of school, a very mysterious guy has entered her life

but she doesn’t know that he is...

Vampires, witches, werewolves

All supernatural are existing in the world

She wants to run away from those crazy things

However, she has no idea how special she is

Until she found out all the secrets

She realised that she cannot escape the destiny

Falling in love with a vampire makes her...

He pretended not to know her feelings for him

but in deep down, he has known she is so important to him

Dangerous make them feel restless,

but they still want to fight

For love, For peace, For hope

At the same time, they need to face up to their fears

Take the risk of dying in their life

In the end, what do they have to lose for fighting the darkness?

Please correct my mistakes in my writing:

The incident of violence against woman particularly rape, has increased significantly. A 15-year-old girl gang-raped by 4 youths on May 20. RAB arrested the accused. But after the arresting of that accused, the victim family is being threatened of dire consequences. The mother of the victim has informed this matter to Police. The sub-inspector of that area said they are investigating the case and also suggested the family to file a general diary in this regard. A 19-year-old woman took that girl to the party where she was served a drink spiked with sedatives. She was taken to a bush to rape after falling unconscious. One of the 3 arrestees whose name is Sujan recorded the whole incident on his phone and circulated that video on social media. That video made a huge outcry and it led to their eventual arrest. Those 4 accused including the woman were sought 5-day remand for each. Like this victim, many others don't have the courage to report against the rapist for fear of the attackers getting back at them.

Please correct my mistakes in my writing:

Using a dictionary is an art, just like using a sword is. How much you will learn from a dictionary depends on how artfully you can use it, just like how long you will survive on a battlefield depends on how artfully you can use your sword.

You have a sword, but that doesn't mean you can win a fight without practice and mastering the art of using a sword. In the same way, you may have a dictionary, but that doesn't mean you will learn English correctly and effectively without mastering the art of using your dictionary.

So look up words in a dictionary regularly. Make it your daily habit. Gradually, you'll master the art of using a dictionary. It will happen automatically. However, it will take a great deal of time, but finally you will be able to get the most out of a dictionary.

Please fix my passage.

Mark was the mastermind responsible for organizing and planning the US Mint robbery. He later oversaw the Federal Reserve of San Francisco heist, which had been orchestrated from London. As a cunning planner, Mark was able to control the entirety of the heist from behind the scenes, creating red herrings, and hoodwinking the police into doing exactly what he wanted them to do. There are only a few who could accomplish such remarkable feat, but his calm demeanor complemented his innate leadership traits, which allowed him to resolve any conflicts that arose without fuss.

Hi, I have always used past tense in stories, so I'd love to know if there're any mistakes in this present-tense story. Thank you in advance!

Topic: It's not Zack's Day

Zack is going on a date with Lucy. When he finally arrives at the cafe’s gate, he suddenly realizes he left the water boiling! “Oh no!” He thinks, “If I keep the stove on, maybe the house will catch fire!” He wants to go back to turn off the gas, but he scares that his girlfriend will be angry at him being late for the date and break up with him. He is so nervous that he is biting his nails. A few minutes later, Zack decides to go back home first. He calls his girlfriend, “H-Hey Lucy, sorry, but can you wait for me a bit longer? I left the water boiling!” Lucy shouts, “What!? That is bad! Quickly go back to your home and turn off the stove!” At his fastest speed, Zack rushes back to his home, only to find out his house is already on fire, and the firefighters are trying to put it out. Although they succeed in the end, all Zack’s properties turn into ashes. Thankfully, none of his neighbors gets hurt. After this tragic incident, his girlfriend says, “Well, at least you are still alive and no one gets hurt!”

Please fix my mistakes in these paragraphs.

Anti-Aliasing is the digital implementation that removes removes jaggies or the staircase effect that appears on the edges of video games images in real time, making them appear smoother.
These imperfections stem from pixels, which are tiny squares that constitute an image. If a certain number of pixels are aligned, they will form a perfectly straight segment. However, in order to trace a diagonal, the pixels arrange in such a way that they end up touching only their vertexes, creating the unappealing staircase effect.

A wide variety of techniques have been implemented to tackle this issue. MSAA is the most basic and graphically demanding of all. TXAA is the newest solution from Nvidia, which is both effective and precise. Although these two methods approach aliasing employing different mathematical models, they work fundamentally under the same principle. That is detecting the areas where the data has been flawed and collecting samples around them to reconstruct the missing sections of curves or diagonals.

Even though over the years Anti-Aliasing has been perfected and the results it produces are clean and smooth, increasing the resolution will yield superior image quality.
